Yes, Don't give up. I often write code starting with a bare except, then after it works, stick a raise in it to determine exactly what exception I'm catching. Then use that to rewrite a more explicit except statement. Your comment earlier about treating the symptom is also accurate. This isn't just an issue with bare excepts not being allowed in the middle, it also comes up whenever we catch exceptions out of order in the tree. Ie.. catching an exception closer to the base will block a following except clause that tries to catch an exception on the same branch. So should except clauses be checked for orderliness?
